The wind was blowing, the sun was gradually shining on the earth, and the crackling sound of the reed leaves being slightly beaten by the wind was heard in my ears, and in the early morning, the dew drops condensed on the tips of the reed leaves were dripping and dissipating little by little.

The dew on the tip of the green leaf finally couldn't resist the cold wind in the early morning, broke free from the last restraints, and dripped to the ground, hitting the tip of Zongzheng's nose, and the cold that instantly dripped stimulated his nerves.

As if having a dream, the world is too hard, full of vicissitudes of pain, all kinds of calculations and being calculated, in Zongzheng's dream, there are Xianjie, there are senior sisters, and two lovely children, they live a life of no quarrel with the world, pure and peaceful days, always together, happy and warm, this simple joy is the greatest happiness of each other, in the dream he watched the child grow up slowly, the days passed day by day, the dream was too long, too happy, so that he was immersed in the dream for a long time, difficult to wake up, and did not want to wake up.

Perhaps, his body is too tired, and lying on the soft green grass makes him very comfortable, or perhaps, he is too tired of the current earthly life, and the yearning in his heart occupies his brain without consciousness, like a kind of self-guided hypnosis, unable to distinguish between dream and reality.

Until this drop of bone-chilling coolness penetrated the dream and stimulated his subconscious, the illusion that he had been longing for in his heart suddenly shattered, and there was no trace, and the whole world was in chaos.

It's time to wake up, a strong harsh voice sounded in his head, he shook the corners of his eyes slightly, slowly opened his pupils, and the light shining through the gap in the reeds was particularly dazzling, he couldn't help blinking, his mind gradually recovered, looking at the blue sky and white clouds above his head, his mind suddenly remembered what happened last night, and he couldn't help but get up nervously, and muttered in his mouth, "Xian'er, senior sister." ”

"Ahh There was a faint pain in his right shoulder and thigh, but he couldn't care about it, so he stood up stubbornly, his body was covered with dust and mud, his hair was messy and scattered, and his gray face was really embarrassed.

He glanced around for the first time, not far from his feet, the fairy he was thinking about, the senior sister lying on the grass, not moving at all, sleeping to death, and the two children, clinging to the waist of the senior sister, covered by her clothes, revealing the small red sleeves.

Zong Zheng smiled happily, staggered towards the child, lifted the senior sister's clothes, the two children looked at Zong Zheng quietly, those two pairs of eyes stared at him motionlessly, at that moment, hot tears almost poured out of his eyes.

"Senior sister, senior sister, wake up. Zong Zheng pushed his senior sister, but no matter how hard he tried, Xi Jie didn't react at all, Zong Zheng thought of the internal force duel last night, thought of the scene of the senior sister protecting her son, worried that the senior sister was too injured, and couldn't help but nervously put his hand on the tip of her nose, fortunately, there was still a snort, although it was weak, but it was very even.

He put down Xijie and hurriedly walked to Xianjie's side, carefully helped her body, and shook and shouted: "Xian'er, Xian'er, wake up." ”

Xianjie slowly woke up in Zongzheng's shouting and shaking, she opened her eyes slightly, and saw that it was Brother Zheng, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth inexplicably, "Brother Zheng, are we dead?"

"No, Xian'er, we're not dead yet, hurry up. Zong Zheng hurriedly pulled up Xianjie, because he knew that this place could not stay for a long time.

"Where is this? I remember that we all seemed to faint in the cave, how could we be here?. Xianjie gradually woke up, and suddenly remembered what happened last night.

"This is the Fairy Forest, it seems that someone is indeed secretly paying attention to us and secretly helping us. Zong Zheng replied.

Xianjie didn't understand what Zong Zheng meant, she didn't have time to remember, she remembered her sister for the first time, and hurriedly asked: "Brother Zheng, what about my sister? Oh, there are children." ”

"Xian'er, don't worry, they're all there, look. Zong Zheng pointed to Xijie's mother and son behind him.

Xianjie hurriedly rushed to Xijie, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw that the child in her arms was fine, but she saw that her sister had been closing her eyes and not waking up, her eyebrows frowned slightly, "Sister, wake up." ”

"Xian'er, senior sister, she is too injured and needs to find a place to recuperate as soon as possible, this place is not safe, so she has to leave as soon as possible. Zong Zheng reminded.

Speaking of which, he remembered that tunnel, the person who was hiding behind them to save them must have rescued them through the tunnel, he had to destroy that tunnel, otherwise the Four Yuan Venerable would soon find here.

"Xian'er, take care of my senior sister and two children, I have to do something as soon as possible. After Zongzheng finished his way, he hurried to the northeast.

"What are you going to do?" asked Xianjie.

"Stay here and don't move, I'll be back in a moment. Zong Zheng replied and left in a hurry.

The reeds of the fairy forest are vast and vast, the tall reed poles are higher than the human head, walking in the reeds, the vision is not clear, and there are many paths interspersed in the reeds, fortunately Zong Zheng is familiar with the fairy forest, and he accurately went in the direction of the tunnel exit.

Walking out of the reeds along the path of the reeds, the mountain where the cave is located is in front of you.

He cautiously went to the mountain range, and when he came to the tunnel entrance, he saw that the tunnel entrance had been blocked by someone who had collapsed, and he knew that this must have been done by the person who saved him, and since the tunnel crossing had been blocked, he was a little relieved and hurried back.

Along the way, he always felt that there was a strange kind of true qi swimming in his body, which was very gentle and lifted his spirit.

Passing by the stream by the reeds, Zongzheng washed his face, took out the small gourd pinned to his waist, took some water, and hurriedly returned.

After Zong Zheng left, Xianjie always felt that there was a strange gentle true qi in her body, so she meditated and practiced pranayama, thinking that she had to recover quickly to heal her sister's injuries.

Zong Zheng came back with the water, and the shock of the reeds woke Xianjie all of a sudden, she opened her eyes and became alert, until she saw that it was Brother Zheng, and she was relieved.

"It's me. Zong Zheng said, and walked to Xijie after speaking, he carefully picked up Xijie, picked up the small gourd in his hand and handed it into her mouth.

"Xian'er, let me ask you, do you feel a gentle true qi swimming in your body?" asked Zongzheng.

"How do you know?" said Xianjie, who was a little puzzled.

Zong Zheng didn't answer in time, he gently put her down after feeding Xijie water, and then handed the water to Xianjie.

He picked up Xi Jie's right hand and checked his pulse, and as expected, there was also a gentle true qi swimming in the senior sister's body.

"It should be the true qi that the person who saved us lost, if there is no such true qi, I'm afraid that the lives of several of us will not be saved. Zongzheng explained.

"Who saved us, and why don't you want to show up?" asked Xianjie.

"This is also where I wonder, since this man knows that he rescued us from the secret passage, he must have been by our side to watch our every move, and he did not want to show up, there must be a deeper reason and purpose, no matter what, I am still grateful that he saved us. Zong Zheng replied.

"Brother Zheng, what should we do now?"

Zong Zheng looked at the senior sister who was sleeping on the ground, and the two children, thinking that he and Xian'er were also seriously injured and had not healed, so they walked on this side, I am afraid they would not be able to go far, and the Siyuan Venerable entered the cave and found that the person was not there, and he would definitely search nearby, and now he would undoubtedly die if he went out rashly, and this reed bush is vast and towering, and it may be able to avoid it for a while.

"Xian'er, let's hurry up and heal, it's best to stay until the evening and leave while the night is falling. Zong Zheng thought about it for a while and replied.

The Four Yuan Venerables were looking for other entrances nearby due to the collapse of the cave entrance last night, but they couldn't find the entrance because it was dark, so they unanimously decided to hold on all sides until dawn before making plans.

After dawn the next day, Venerable Mu Yuan searched and found the entrance to the top, and shook open the stone that Zongzheng had pressed in advance with one palm.

The four of them were extremely cautious, leaving Jin Yuan and Shui Yuan Venerables, and only letting Mu Yuan Venerable and Huo Yuan Venerable go down to search.

Huo Yuan Venerable entered the cave and lit the candlesticks on the surrounding cave walls with Huo Yuan Gong, and when the candles illuminated the entire cave wall, they did not see the trace of Zong Zheng and others, and after a search, they still found the collapsed tunnel entrance in the cave.

Venerable Huo Yuan and Venerable Mu Yuan informed Venerable Jin Yuan and Venerable Shui Yuan of the situation, Venerable Jin Yuan thought that last night the four of them combined the four yuan to hit the cave, although they were afraid of Zongzheng, their skills were reserved, but it was enough to seriously injure the three people, he expected that they would definitely not be able to run far, so the four of them were separated and searched nearby.

Soon after Zong Zheng finished checking the tunnel and left, Venerable Jin Yuan happened to search that location, and soon found another collapsed tunnel entrance in the cave leading to the outside world.

He summoned the other three brothers and went straight to the vast and tall reeds in front of him.

The four of them walked together to the reeds, and when they entered the reeds, they found that they were surrounded by paths, and their vision was not clear, and it was difficult to grasp the direction.

At that time, Zong Zheng and Xian Jie were using exercises to heal their wounds, and suddenly heard movement from the reeds, "They still found here." Zong Zheng sighed, he felt a faint crisis.

"What should I do?" asked Xianjie softly.

"Now I can't move, once I make a noise, I can only die, I can only gamble. Zong Zheng replied, quietly eating the pig in front of him, holding his breath to be quiet enough.

He suddenly thought of the child, and if the child suddenly cried, the location would be immediately revealed, so he moved softly to the child's side, ready to cover the child's mouth as soon as the child suddenly spoke.

The sound of the reed being pushed away became louder and louder, listening to this movement, the Four Yuan Venerable was getting closer and closer to Zongzheng, and Xianjie's heart was about to jump out.

Fortunately, the two children are very quiet, and they seem to understand the difficulties of their parents, and they are rarely obedient.

The Four Yuan Venerable continued to search forward, and suddenly the Fire Yuan Venerable stopped, "Senior brother, I'm afraid it's difficult to find every corner of the huge reeds, so it's better to let me burn this reed and force them out." ”
